A quick way to shutdown many programs in Mac OS X
Doh! Ever accidentally come across an easy way to do something you’ve been doing the hard way?
I often have 10, 15 or even 20 programs running on my Mac, so occasionally I want to quit several of them at once. Previously I’d command-clicked on each’s Dock icon and select Quit.
Ha! Not anymore
Tonight I discovered something I already new. The command-tab, application switcher can quit applications too.
Press command-tab
Keep holding the command key
Either tab or click on the icon of application to quit
Press Q
In a few seconds you can have sent a Quit command to a dozen applications.
Too easy!
